Cary is \"4+\"years older than Dan.
\n" ); document.write( "Cary:
\n" ); document.write( "NOW \"x+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Dan
\n" ); document.write( "NOW \"x+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In \"8\" years, the sum of their ages will be \"84\". Find the age of each man now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cary:
\n" ); document.write( "NOW x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "In 8 years: \"x+%2B+4%2B8=x%2B12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dan: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In 8 years: \"x+%2B+8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B12%2Bx%2B8=84\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B20=84\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=84-20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=64%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=32%29\"-> Dan is \"highlight%2832%29+\" old NOW \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+4=32%2B4=highlight%2836%29\"-> Cary is \"highlight%2836%29+\" old NOW \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in \"8\" years\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dan will be \"32%2B8=highlight%2840%29+\" old\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cary will be \"36%2B8=highlight%2844%29+\" old\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sum of their ages is: \"40%2B44=84+\" as given\r
